Hakim Ziyech, a star for the Chelsea football club of England, rejoins the Moroccan national team ahead of their friendlies despite having declared his retirement from international competition earlier this year.
One of the reasons the former Ajax Amsterdam player did not attend the most recent Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon was a disagreement he had with the former head coach of the Morocco national team.
Hakim Ziyech announced his retirement from international football and his intention to focus on club football in a statement on his social media account.

After revealing that he was ailing and would be absent from the most recent AFCON, Hakim Ziyech was accused of fabricating an injury by a former coach of the Moroccan national team.
Few weeks after losing to South Africa in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, the Moroccan Football Federation made the decision to fire their head coach. They then hired a new manager, who has chosen to invite Hakim Ziyech to their upcoming matches.
The national teams of Morocco and Paraguay will each play one another in international friendlies this month on the 23rd and 27th, respectively, with 31 players invited to each match.
Recall that Thomas Tuchel, the former manager of Chelsea, has spoken for the first time since being fired from his position.
After a 1-0 loss away to Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Champions League, the German coach was fired on Wednesday morning.
When Frank Lampard’s replacement, Thomas Tuchel, was named in January 2021, he led Chelsea to their second Champions League title in May of that same year.
